Research Highlights
INTEGRATING PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOMES AND REMOTE PATIENT SENSOR DATA IN CHILDHOOD ASTHMA
The purpose of this research was to identify how to best design future versions of technology-enhanced services in pediatric asthma. The work consisted of qualitative studies with parents/caregivers and clinicians using principles of implementation science and understanding how patient-generated digital data can integrate into a learning health system to promote improvements in pediatric asthma care.
